Help needed regarding the process for securing funding for fire dikes in tank areas
Thread Content
Which discipline is responsible for determining the fire dikes and barriers in the tank farm? As I understand it, it is reasonable for the fire protection specialists to submit the layout plans, and for the overall layout to be determined by those plans; but I’m not sure – it can’t possibly be determined by the piping plans, right?
The proper approach should be for the process engineering team to arrange the tank area, prepare the overall layout plan, and verify the distances between various elements; if everything is fine, then fire protection measures can be implemented.
However, we currently arrange the tank area directly in the overall layout; once the overall layout is completed, it is sent to the fire protection team and the process engineering team for further design work.
